The sapphire rotor we use specially for DNP enhanced SSNMR with a zirconia cap. The whole assembly costs for about 4500€...!!!
DNP is dynamic nuclear polarization.Meaning the population of nuclei in higher and lower energy levels changes dynamically.This enhances Low signal sensitivity of solid state NMR [SSNMR]. This can be used for the study of polypeptides with 17 fold enhancement of signal intensity.A biradical is anchored in a membrane.
